Hussy Hicks

Lambros

David Ross- Macdonald

Hussy Hicks is an Australian duo known for their genre-blending sound, merging blues, folk, rock, and roots music with a focus on authenticity and powerful live performances. Leesa Gentz’s soaring vocals and Julz Parker’s insane guitar work are at the heart of their electrifying sound, combining to create a dynamic musical experience. Since their formation in 2006, Hussy Hicks have built a loyal fanbase, with their latest album, Swimming in Uncertainty, reaching #1 on the ARIA Jazz & Blues Chart and topping the AIR Independent Album Chart. The album’s raw energy and emotionally charged songwriting have cemented their place in the independent music scene. Known for their killer live shows, Hussy Hicks captivate audiences with their infectious energy, tight harmonies, and musical versatility, creating an unforgettable performance that leaves fans wanting more every time. Parker was touted by legend, Phil Emmanuel, as ‘Australia’s top female guitar player’ and voted fifth in Bluesfest’s Guitar Hero fan poll, among Santana and BB King. “Some artists need to be seen to be believed, and Hussy Hicks fit that category.” – Sarah Howells, Double J “A not to be missed act that are ready for the world” – Peter Noble, Bluesfest DirectorHailing from Sydney’s Northern Beaches, brothers Connor & Harry Lambrou have been entertaining audiences with their unique brand of music, and infectious passion at venues all across Australia.
Known for their explosive, high-impact live show, LamBros. have rapidly built a reputation as one of Australia’s most compelling emerging acts. With #1 singles, sold-out shows, national radio support and major festival appearances already under their belt, they’ve shared stages with artists including Tones and I, Harts, Larkin Poe, Thirsty Merc, Mental As Anything and The Choirboys. Blending rock, blues, folk, soul and funk, the brothers deliver a huge, genre-defying sound driven by raw vocals, distorted acoustic guitar, didgeridoo and a thunderous homemade hybrid drum kit, creating a live experience that is both intimate and explosive. After returning from a hugely successful debut European/UK tour, where they packed out stages at festivals, performed on national radio, and garnered huge attention at their headline shows, momentum is building on both sides of the world and LamBros. are quickly emerging as one of Australia’s most exciting new international prospects.

Son of an ex jazz trumpeter dentist who ditched geology to fail at jazz college to take up washboard to join The Waifs over a Port Fairy Guinness who fell in love with a 1935 Gibson guitar while touring the USA with Bob Dylan to writing songs and riffing stories to anyone who cared to listen.
A tunesmith, guitarist, songwriter and teller of tall tales from the road less travelled but long toured, David is an acoustic amalgam part late 60’s English folk and part late 70’s Brit punk pop derived who lives off-grid between Australia and Canada and is hopeless at social media.
